'The Walking Dead' (AMC)

AMC

Premieres: Sunday, Oct. 14 at 9 p.m. Expect to see: The introduction of two fan-favorite characters -- the Governor (David Morrissey) and Michonne, whom we saw briefly at the end of the Season 2 finale -- and the return of Merle (most of him anyway). Rick Grimes will soon realize that killing Shane didn't eliminate the threat to his alpha-male authority. -- Drusilla Moorhouse, Zap2it
